Van Dijk expects to join Liverpool in next 48 hours

Chelsea have kept their long-standing interest in Van Dijk, while Arsenal are now ready to enter the fray, and both clubs are considering late bids - though the problem would then be that Southampton accepting any offer would then allow Liverpool back in to match it.

It is said that sources close to the player insist Van Dijk, 26, expects to be a Liverpool player in little over 48 hours "and that it is still by far his first preference".

Jurgen Klopp is still hoping to land the Dutch worldwide and the Independent claim van Dijk remains keen to move to Anfield as it's by far his preferred destination.

Arsene Wenger and Antonio Conte are expected to be extremely active during the final days of the window and van Dijk would obviously be a sensational signing if either club could get a deal agreed.
